Boat Suggestions

[Jimmie Buckler]

Jimmie, not sure your budget, but I run a Havoc MSTC 1756 with a 5000 efi mudbuddy. I run shallow and deep. I too need a mod v hull because I make big runs in deep water but then get up shallow. I run at elevation, so I know im losing performance. I run 30 with a load no problem. I always wonder what it would do at sea level. Its a dream rig and works very well. I run the big blade for best performance. All the 3 blades I have run just slip too much and it loses the ability to get on plane very quickly. The Hammer prop jumps right up with any load in the boat but top speed sucks. So big blade is best for me at my elevation. Dont hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Thank you for the input- war eagle and edge make Hulls that are made for a surface drive, have a v hull- and still can take an outboard. It sounds like that might be my best all around hull option. V for the chop and surface drive for the vegetation. I’ve seen freedom outboards and that might be something I should look into. The MSTCs are in the budget , but I would like this to be my “do all” lifetime boat purchase. I’ll look into them some more for sure.
